"Worst riot in Oslo since the 80`s"

What started as an peaceful demonstration for peace between the Israelis and Palestines ended up as the worst riot in Oslo since the 80`s..

"The main street in Oslo looks like a battlefield, cars and shops are shattered, garbage cans are set on fire. Tear gas was used by the police for
crowd control, thick smoke still lies in the air." said a reporter from Nettavisen who was on sight 21:30 last night.

This article is in Norwegian, but you can see pictures at the bottom, and I can translate if you want me to:

I don't see how they would get support for their cause, when they are behaving like this and destroy everything. This is not about Israel vs.
pro-Israel. That's just an excuse. This is vandals who must be stopped, no matter what "cause" they claim made them do it. I hope they will have to
pay for the damage.

As I said before, the Israeli atrocity is angering the planet. Some of you are probably thinking why are white Norwegians rioting in the street
because of a conflict in the Middle East. Unlike the US, most people are outwards looking and not insular.

ATS members are exceptions to the average American citizen misinformed by MSM and who is busy with his life and affairs. Most people abroad are
equally busy with life too but information is usually from divergent sources and readily available.

The Norwegians are expressing outrage with what they have learnt of the current conflict, and they are angry just like the people of colour in the
Middle East some pro-Israeli supporters point out and ridicule.

You might like to know similar anger is being displayed on the streets from Spain, to Germany, to Russia, to Indonesia. People are angry and should
not be readily dismissed. You might find a blue eyed, blond haired person taking lethal and direct action without necessarily being the stereotypical
'muslim terrorist'.

The US may be insular, but it is at least in part because we never get to see whats going on in other countries.

Our media is probably one of the most censored ones in the world, whether we like to think so or not.

I actually love having the opportunity to see whats going on. Its one of the reasons I love ATS, those of you in blacked out parts of the world,
(from our media's point of view, can inform us. (And translate)

Norway has the most monitored Middle Eastern media in northern Europe, even more than Sweden. Unfortunately not in English but in Norwegian (which is
totally obvious).

What do you mean, "most monitored Middle Eastern media in northern Europe..."?

Do you mean that Arabs own the news media therefore Norwegian opinions do not matter. Maybe because the ADL hasn't got a chapter in Norway so the
news is not moderated and feral?

I don't know why a few pro-Israeli supporters on ATS are having a strange reactions over the Norwegian demonstrations against the Israeli aggression?
Do they realise there are mass demonstrations in all parts of Europe including Ireland and the UK?

Perhaps they have accommodated these turns of events as of ethnic origin on the streets of Europe, therefore it's second rate and irrelevant.

In Israel, Arab Jews, Ethiopian Jews and migrant workers are treated as second class so it must mean these attitudes are being transferred to
worldwide events.

It's a shame that violence happened. But this just shows how emotive the subject is.

People are angry that this is being allowed to continue unabated. In every nation people are angry that their leaders are so weak on this issue. They
are allowing Israel to murder people, without being challenged.

This will only continue until world leaders actually grow some balls and start to make clear and accurate statements on what Israel is doing.

I'm fed up with hearing carefully constructed speeches and statements about a "sustainable ceasefire", innocent people, with no connection to
Hamas, are being systematically murdered by Israel.
Our leaders need to do what we pay them to do, represent our countries and kick out every Israeli member from every embassy worldwide.
